When one party has breached the contract, the party who has performed is entitled to various remedies for the breach. * Consequential damages - This requires the breaching party to pay the non-breaching party an amount that puts the non-breaching party in the same position they would have been in if the contract was performed * Punitive damages - Courts can force the breaching party to make a payment as a punishment for the breach of contract * Liquidated damages - The parties agree, at the time they make the contract, that if one party breaches the contract, the breaching party should pay a specified sum. Thus, this is an amount written in the contract * Nominal damages - This is a minimal amount provided to the non-breaching party if that party won the case but did not financially lose much In certain situations, they can also get specific performance of the contract.
